Air1's Verse of the Day for Feb 8, 2023

The Song of the Redeemed

Read the transcript from today's video devotional.

Do you ever notice something about people who complain? People who are ungrateful? What's one thing that these people really never do? I confess, I do too. I know Philippians chapter 2 says do all things without grumbling or complaining. People who complain a lot... they don't sing.

I want to ask you a question. As you look at your life personally, as you think about your family, as you think about your work, maybe just think about what preoccupies you in your own mind at the gym. Are you a person who sings?

The Bible says there's a song on the heart of the redeemed. My mother-in-law, she died in her 90s just a couple of years ago. If she was doing dishes, if she was walking around the inside of the house vacuuming, if she's helping us with food, whatever it was, she was always singing. She'd get on the piano and she'd be banging that piano and she'd sing. She didn't have the best voice, but she could sing. The reason she could sing is because she was amazed at Jesus Christ. When you're amazed at Jesus, you'll praise Him.

Three Beautiful Exhortations from Scripture

Our Verse of the Day is a tremendous verse. I love this verse. It's Psalm chapter 96, verse 2. It says, "Sing to the Lord, praise his name. Each day proclaim the good news that he saves." Can I just give you three quick, beautiful exhortations that come right out of this passage?

Number one is sing. Sing. Find songs in your life that you like that are encouraging, that sing to the Lord. It's absolutely personal because when you're amazed, you'll praise.

Secondly, you will praise what you enjoy. Not only sing the praise, we all praise what we enjoy.

Finally, when there's a song on your heart and when you're praising, you'll proclaim. Right there from the Bible, you'll proclaim who Jesus is and the good news that He's our Savior.

A Life of Praise

Look at your life. Think about if you're a person who praises the Lord Jesus Christ. Think about how much you sing, how much you praise, and how much you proclaim. Do you communicate the greatness of the Lord Jesus Christ?

You will be praising what you're amazed about. You and I have the tremendous opportunity to communicate and talk about the Lord Jesus Christ, who has given you the greatest gift, and that is forgiveness. You're forever forgiven, finally and forever. Let's go out there and let's tell people about this great Savior, Jesus Christ. Sing about Him, proclaim Him, and praise Him.
